One way is to use the HTML features of JLabel, and add a <br> tag in
your text.

    label.setText("<html>line one<br>line two");

Another way, which lets the lines wrap automatically at whatever length
is appropriate, is to use a JTextArea instead and make it look like a
JLabel.  Something like this.  I may have forgotten a step, but you can
see the idea.  Create a JLabel so you can copy the colors and font to
make them look the same.

    textArea.setFont(label.getFont());
    textArea.setBackground(label.getBackground());
    textArea.setDisabledTextColor(label.getForeground());
    textArea.setEnabled(false);
    textArea.setEditable(false);
    textArea.setLineWrap(true);
    textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
